My 2014 1.4 TFSI CoD had oil changes and inspection services at exact 2 year intervals in 2016, 2018 and 2020 with Audi. The cambelt, brake fluid etc have been changed on the dot, also at Audi.
This means it's been run on a longlife service schedule, doing ~6k miles per year over the 6 years that it was with its first owner. I guess the service indicator was set to variable for the previous owner, but for me it's been set up by the dealer as annual.
I think my annual mileage will be closer to 3-4k miles a year. I know you're meant to do annual oil changes with low mileage use, but what do people think about just carrying on with the Longlife approach?
It gets used infrequently, but usually on 100+ mile runs. I do look after my cars very well, but I don't think it'll make a huge difference personally? I'll probably keep it until 2022/3.
